FOR THE INFORMATION OF DEM
OCRATS.

In order that all misunderstanding
and impositions may be averted and the
Democrats at the several precincts may
know when to hold the appointed meet
ings and who shall be allowed tO pa rtici-
pate, ETC., We reproduce below the action
of the County Executive Committee bear.
ing on these points.
AT the first meeting of the Committee
held on June 18th. the following pro-
ceedings were had:
On motion Of Nr. Summers it was re-
solved that this committee do now call q
convention of the Democratic party of the
county for the purpose of nominating all
county and district offices, and for the
transaction Of such OF her business as shall
properly come before said convention; and
that the time for the meeting of said con-
vention bs at IL o'clock %. M, at the
court house of the county OH Saturday,
the goth day of August next.
On motion of 4. Lewen; hal, it. was Or
dered that the precinct meetings to elect
delegates to the county convention be
held ut the respective voting places of the
precincts at III o'clock, n. M, on Monday,
the 18th day OF August next.
Mr. Summers and adopted by the com
mittee:
Resolved, That all legal voters of t he
county shall be entitled to participate at
their respective voting places in the Dem
ocratic meetings held in pursuance of the
call of tins committee, who shall promise
| to abide by the result of the meetings and
| pledge their support to the nominees of
the party at the approaching election.
| On motion of Mr.. Lcwenthal the fore
| going resolution is directed to be read by
the temporary chairman to those assenI-
bled before proceeding to business.
At second meeting of the committee
held on July 9th, the following addition
al resolution was adopted as to the man
ner of conducting the precinct meetings
and who should he allowed to partici-
pate therein:
ResOlred, That it is recommended to the
Democratic voters of each precinct that
before proceeding to permanent Organi
cation, and in addition to the reading of
the resolution as already directed, the
temporary chairman cause roll to be
prepared OH which each voter desiring to
participate in the meeting, shall write or
cause to he written his name, and the roll
shall he beaded thus:
eve, the undersigned, now enroll our
selves as Democrats and hereby announce
our adhesion to the Democratic party and
pledge our honor to abide by the action
of the party and support the Democratic
ticket"
From this it will be seen that none but
known Democrats and others who are
willing to hereafter support the Demo-
cratic party and it's duly authorized rep
rcsentatives are entitled to take part in
the precinct meetings, and this rule
should be strictly enforced. No man has
any business in these meetings who can't
be trusted to support the Democratic
ticket whom nominated, or desires to get
into the convention for the purpose OF
trying to revolutionizc, in tho interest of
independents aud Republicans. what the
Executive Committee has done, and
Democrats at every precint should look
well to this.
According to the last apportionnent, the
several precincts are entitled To reprcsen-
tation in the County Conv ention as fol
lows:
Northumberland Montgomery. .....3
Bogue Chitto. Little Bahala. -. 3
Fair River. Halls. ...........5
Lard's Mill Adams G. G.......3
Vaughns ..........5 East MiIl........2
Caseyvilc. ........5
The beat meetings can easily enough
instruct their delegates for their choice of
candidates for all offices, if so preferred.
None but the best and most reliable Dem
ocrats should I've elected as delegates, and
none should lie elected who will not
serve. There shouldn't lie proxy III the
Convention. Let every thing i'll reason
he done to have fair and honest express
sion of the Democracy of the county, and
then, whatever that choice may be, let al
of us who profess to be loyal Democrats,
cheerfully acQuiesce in the result.
